I  O  Little  Boy  Blue,  who  is  my  dear  friend  Bennett  Dierolf ;  to 
my  niece  and  nephew,  Gertrude  and  Donald  Templeton ;  my  little 
cousins,  Esther  and  Bruce  Lewis  ;  to  Elizabeth  Shanaman,  who  is 
holding  up  her  hands  for  you;  to  all  my  little  friends  whom  I  have 
known  and  who  are  very  dear  to  me,  and  to  all  little  boys  and 
girls,  this  book  is  dedicated.

PREFACE 


To  the  mothers,  fathers  and  all  those  interested  in  children,  and  trusting  there  are  none  who  are 
not,  I  wish  to  call  attention  to  a  fact  which  you  well  know.  That  the  modern  and  right  conception 
of  educating  children  is  not  only  to  make  them  wise,  but  to  make  them  both  wise  and  good.  Fitted 
to  become  capable  and  cultured  citizens,  and  fully  able  to  establish  good  and  happy  homes. 

Aiming  then  for  the  highest  development  of  mind  and  soul,  let  us  keep  in  mind  the  inestimable 
value  of  music:  first  for  the  good  of  each  child  individually  and  through  the  children  (as  they  will 
be  the  men  and  women  of  the  future)  the  uplift  of  humanity  in  general. 

One  of  the  historians  has  written  of  Mozart : 

‘ ‘ His  father  recognized  beyond  any  possible  doubt  that  the  existence  of  such  a  child 
in  his  family  was  no  less  than  a  miracle l' 

All  children  are  God’s  miracles,  with  wonderful  possibilities  of  development. 

With  fifteen  years  of  teaching  experience,  and  by  reason  of  my  fondness  for  children,  much  of 
that  time  having  been  devoted  to  the  teaching  of  little  children,  I  can  confidently  say  that  children 
usually  love  that  which  they  readily  understand. 

This  book  is  so  simplified  that  it  needs  no  explanation.  It  has  been  designed  to  easily  and 
permanently  impress  the  first  steps  in  the  knowledge  of  music. 

We  all  know  that  children  like  to  write  and  draw,  and  remember  well  by  doing  so.
